No. 19-6699

JOHN MAURICE HENOUD, Petitioner - Appellant, v. DONNA SMITH, Warden, Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Dever III, District Judge. (5:18-hc-02226-D)

Submitted: September 20, 2019 Decided: September 24, 2019

Before WILKINSON and DIAZ, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

John Maurice Henoud, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: John Maurice Henoud, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the motion for a certificate of appealability as unnecessary and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Henoud v. Smith, No. 5:18-hc-02226-D (E.D.N.C. May 2, 2019). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
